Pierce ends his first season in the NBA by removing his shirt, which teammate Walter McCarty (right) has already done, and Vitaly Potapenko (left), is about to do. Following the double overtime loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the team gave the shirts off their backs to fans who had won the honor. Pierce was a unanimous selection to the 1998-99 Schick All-Rookie first team after leading the Celtics in three-pointers made (84, 10th in the NBA) and attempted (204, 18th), three-point percentage (.412, 10th) and steals (1.71 spg, 19th).
